Making Flour from Potatoes.

Wheat and other grains are likely to
have more or less of rival in the sweet
potato A patent has been issued for a
process of treating sweet potatoes for
making flour. The object of the inven-
ton is to produce a wholesome and nutrt-
tious article of diet from the sweet potato
--One that will not be liable to become
frozen or decayed, and which shall en-
body all the valuable portions of the
potato, especially the starch and sac
charine matter
This invention designs so to treat the
potato that the starchy and saccharine
matters, with quantity of the glutinous
portions, may be obtained and readily
transported to any portion of the world as
staple product similar to flour; and it
being a well known fact that chemical
changes which accrue to the liquid por-
ton of the potato in climates other than
where it grew destroy its natural flavor,
an essential feature of the process is to
quickly evaporate such liquids while the
potato is in healthy condition, and reduce
it to flour or meal which will retain the
natural flavor of the esculent. The pro
duct obtained according to the invention
may be made into puddings pies, cakes,
custards and the hke.-Milling World.

Won Bu1ow Wanted Musical Beer"


remember, when Won Bulow was here
l met that disciple of the ultra classic in
musical art frequently. On one occasion it
was at a Harvar concert, if / remember
right. Our seats CHANGED to be side by
side, and all through the performances he
kept murmuring, Beautiful Beautiful
in an ecstatic manner, but invariably ac-
conpanying these little breathings of de-
light with discontinued grunt.
1 thought at first that, while admiring the
music, he was displeased by the manner in
which it was interpreted; but he invariably
applauded at the end of each performance,
and with every appearance of sincerity.
This was perplexing; but the great man was
eccentric, and / attributed his gruntings
to some popularity that had fastened upon
him.
At the end of the concert we went forth
together, and were scarcely in the street
when he touched my arm and said, without
further preparation: 81 am dying to be
vulgar, commonplace; anything but respects
able. Responsibility is driving me crazy. l

thought he was posing for effect; in
fact, think now; but he assured me
that he was in solemn earnest; that he was
eager to hear what he called "Some de
ightful disreputable music, - in some place
where he could lie back and listen to Eek
quisiteiy incorrect harmony and charming;y
disgracefui tunes, only sixteen rhythmical
bars in length" He desired to obtain this
luxury in some out of the way place not
likely to be visited by the tone elect and
forced, 'as the son-in-law of List and part
owner, with Wagner, of Mrs. Won Bulow,"
to blush for his degraded musical appetite.
1 made an appointment with him to go
to a musical show, when he grasped my
hand heartily and greeted me as his s'Iieber
Mephistopheles. Before night however,
1 received a note from him, in which he
said: Paradise is not for me. I am
coward. I'm chained to high art. I dare
not go. Weep for mel I have bought

The various Degrees of Beggary.

There are degrees of beggary. 1t was in
Union square, New York, one day, several
New York managers were standing talk
ing, when hmp-lame beggar came up
and begged for aims 1t had been a good
season, and the managers had made some
small change out of it. One of them looked
at this beggar and had pity on him. Theat-
rical people anyway have more or less OF
the gamblers absolute dread of passing
Deggar without giving him something.
They think it will spoil their luck if they
do. It's kind of mute acknowled gment
of a higher power that may be propitiated.
The manager handed the beggar a lot of
pennies, and perhaps a dime among them.
The beggar moved off, and on a corner he
stopped The managers kept their eyes
upon him, the betting being he would go
for drink Long he stood thinking. 1t
seemed hard to make up his mind. Before
he had thought it out figure meaner
than himself crept up to him and begged
for aims. The first beggar looked at him,
thought a moment then put his hand in
his pocket, handed beggar No. a couple
of pennies with an impressive glance of
pity, and received his gratitude just as
calmly as the manager had accepted his
own few moments before.-Cor. San

woman,s Unfe,ninine Employments

One of the most painful features IN metro
politan life is the degradation of women. do
not here refer to anything of a vicious nature
but simply to the effect of extreme poverty.
It is always pitiable to see the sex forced to
unfeminine employmentS, but it is common
ching here. / have seen a woman cutting
grass with sickle in uptown lot in order
TO make hay for the winter support of
goat. have seen woman bring home
board from some demolished building and
then try to break it up for fuel by pounding
it on the sidewalk with stone. 1 saw another
woman carrying coal in pail up three pairs
of stairs to her room in tenement house.
She had bought a small load of this article
and was thus storing it away. A large part
of the chiffoniers rag and waste paper
pickers are women, and what horrid looking
creatures they arel
On the other hand, a dealer in fashions told
me that there are hundreds and even thou
sands of women who spend S25, 900 annually
on dress. It may be difficult to imagine the
feelings Of this fashion worshiping crowd,
out how much more to imagine those of a
woman SO degraded that a rag picked from
he street is prize. Taking a general view,
New York life is not favorable to woman
Among the rich the idleness Of luxury wastes
its victims into helplessness, while among the
Door one notices that disproportionate degree
of hardship which so often stamps the coun-
tenance with fearful uglineSs. York

Lie of am Express n1essenger.

Mr. Horace Rood, of the American express
company, speaking on the subject the other
day, said: Express messengers, as a general
thing, are held in marked respect even by
their superiors, and with something of roy
erence and awe by their interiors, clerks in
company offices ETC., and the ordinary public.
In the first place, they are carefully selected
as to habits of life, etc, and are then placed
under heavy bond and subjected to the most
precise rules and regulations Then they are
men who are constantly and momentarily ex-
pecting an assault, and, as Ola messengers say,
sleep so Gghtly-generally c Irled up on the
safe containing the valuables intrusted to
their care-that the slightest noise outside of
the running Of the train fully awakens them;
and, as remarked the other day, they are
men with a great deal of honor-though
valor and pride better express the meaning
intended-as they know they are employed
as much to be ready for fight, and des-
perate encounter at moments notice. as for
anything else. Among themselves the deepest
disgrace is that they should have been over
come or yielded their treasures without at least
a mark or a wound that would testify that
their courage or fidelity was not at fault.
This defence is always possible, or should be,
as one of the strictest rules laid down to be
followed by the messenger, and that is as to
being armed
Several of the companies require their mes
sengers to wear their revolvers in belt about
their waist, and in the case of the American
he is required to strap his revolver about his
waist at the city office before he goes into his
car, and before he takes charge of his treas
ure. The rule to this extreme is not how
ever, Endorsed by all companies. Many allow
their messengers to carry their revolvers in
their safes on going and coming off a run,
but all require the Numbering of their batter
les when they are actually placed in a posi-
ton when they by any possibility may be
called upon to use them. This rule is, how
ever, very frequently disregarded, as the re-
volver strapped to the waist is cumbersome,
and interferes with the messengers movements
and comfort when at work, and hence the re-
volver is frequently hung on the side of the
car or laid on the safe. The messengers strong
est safeguard, however, is the rule against
admitting outsiders to the car, and some Of the
companies rigidly exclude even trainmen be-
tween stations.-GlObe-D Democrat.

Physical Effects of scarf-DIakine.

The labor of making these scarfs would
be light were it not that it is so badly
paid as to render it necessary to labor
constantly, and the amount of work is al
ways uncertain. For some unexplained
cause the handling of the satin seems to
wear away the skin on the ends of the
fingers, and many of those who make
satin ties have the ends of their fingers
so sore it is torture to work. They have
TO keep bowls of strong alum water TO dip
their fingers in to harden Them and the
work is always very trying to the eyes
and the nerves. There are about 1900
women and girls who make their living
by this trade but it is very poor one

The Problem of How They Shall Live.
Antipathy Against the Country.
A tenement house in New York is de-
fined by law as every house, building or
portion thereof which is rented, leased, or
hired out to be occupied, or is occupied as
the home or residence of more than three
families, living independently of one
another and doing their cooking on the
premises, or by more than two families
upon a floor, so living and cooking, but
having common right in the halls, stair
ways and yards There are many special
laws relating to tenement houses in regard
to fire escapes, ventilation, etc Many
efforts have been made to improve the con-
struction of these buildings, but the density
of the population, where they are IN use
almost precludes the possibility of any re
form in their sanitary condition. The pc
culiar shape of the island upon which New
York city is built has contracted the popu-
lation in the lower part, so that in one ward
there are over 300, 900 persons to the square
mile, while in several others the popuIa-
ton reaches nearly 1000 to tbs square
mile The problem as to how these people
shall live is a troublesome one. They
themselves seem to have little concern about
it and to have adopted the motto Of Chat
tertOns friend as to how and where they
shall eat and sleep 'fDon't know, dol =
care"
All philanthropy has failed which has
had in view the removal of the poor from
the city, where there is little room and HUE
work, to the country, where there Is 10"
much room and too much work. No one
has attempted for many years to decide why
so many thousand poor people cling with so
much tenacity to their unhealthy, Nncom-
Portable rooms, which cannot be called
homes, and have such an unaccOuntable
detestation for green fields and unpolluted
air. 1t was thought that the elevated rail
roads with their cheap fares and rapid
transit, might relieve somewhat the neces-
sity for herding, but thare is so little desire
among the tenement population to get out
of their present quarters that they VIII
make no effort to help themselves
AS about one-haIf the population of the
city lives in these houses volunteer efforts
have been made by capitalists to improve
their construction, and at the same time
make a return of fair percentage on the
money invested. Many a so-called model
tenement house has been erected, but not
one has as yet proved a perfect success, al
though the best talent of the architectural
profession has been enlisted to solve the
problem-New York Cor. Cleveland

fscuIiarfties OF the ''SIeeping Disease"
There is a singular and invariably fatal
malady, called Iethargus, peculiar to the
negroes of certain districts on the western
coast of Africa, which has never, we be-
lieve. been noticed in the medical journals
of this country except in The Massachu-
sets Medical Journal, from which we
COPY. The patient, usually male adult,
is seized, without any premonitory symp-
toms. with a sensation of drOwsiness,
which continues rapidly to increase, in
spite of all efforts to throw it OFF, until he
sinks into a profound and seemingly nat
uraI sleep. This continues for about
twenty-one days, when death takes place
THROUGHOUT the course of the disease, the
patient preserves a quiet and peacetuI
couutenance, may be easily aroused for a
short time will take nourishment, ana
generally ,nswer few questions In a per
fectly rational manner. The pulse, res
piration, and temperature remain normal
throughout, the pupil is neither dilated
nor contracted to any noticeable extent,
and the urine and faces are voided with
comparative regularity. With the ex-
ception of the abnormal tendency to sleep
nothing exists to denote disease.
Many careful post-mortem examina-
tiOns have been made by competent men,
but nothing of an abnormal character has
been found, while every remedy that
could possibly be of any avail has been
used without any apparent beneficial ef-

Destructive Raids on Cuban songsters.

OBSTRUCTIVE 6StlGS Oh OuDdh SOlASSbCASs
81 don't know but il was because | was
a boy" said Dom Miguel, musingly, but
half century ago it seemed to me Cuba
was alive with the song of birds
in every portion. CONTRARY to the usual
idea that tropical chimes only produce
birds of flaming color, we had, and still
have, in many parts innumerable and
wondrous singers. For quarter century
l have not heard such melody as we hear
everywhere about US this morning.
Here we have ridden less than league
and have seen eighteen distinct species OF
birds-the crow, the parrot, the indigo
bird, the paroquet, the lapwing, the orlole,
the 1amingo, the robin, the brown pell-
can, the pigeon, the hooking bird, the
canary the golden-wiHged wOodpecker,
the English lady-bird the blue bird, the
ibis, the cat-bird and the humming bird,
whose nest, not bigger than senOrita's
thimble, we robbed back there in the
chapperal. There are fifty or sixty varie-
ties of these humming birds alone. Half
of these birds we have seen are songsters,
and they are only a beginning. But the
greed of spOrtsmen who have come here for
years and slaughtered them for the milf
ner markets of France, England and
America, and the inrOads of those pestif-
erOus English sparrOWs, which are gradu
ally overrunning the whole bird world.
have wrought sad ravage with our Cuban
songsters and birds Of plumage
